About Approval Status Indicators

On the Approvals page, status indicators show the state of items that were sent for approval.

You will find these indicators in each Approvals section (Personal Info, Emergency Contacts, and Direct Deposit). They refer to the state of items that are pending approval or that have been sent to the ERP where they either await processing or were rejected.

  • Pending: Shows the number of items that are awaiting HR approval in Employee Self-Service.

  • Sent to ERP: Shows the number of approved items that were sent to Spectrum but have not yet been processed in the ERP. Once Spectrum accepts the change, the item no longer displays on the Approvals page.

  • Failed to send: Following an approval attempt in Employee Self-Service, the number of items that Spectrum rejected because the ERP records were locked at the time.

When you select an indicator, the Approvals page updates to show only those items in that state. For example:

  • If you select the Sent to ERP indicator, the Approvals page updates to show only those items waiting to be accepted in the ERP:

  • If you select the Failed to send indicator, the Approvals page updates to show only those items that were rejected by the ERP. You can either resend these items or dismiss them. See Resend Approvals for details.
